Mainly because packages not compiling out-of-source won't need to be rsynced
between SRCDIR ans BUILDDIR.
Next it may solve questions about of dirclean behaviour.
Finally because I like idea that a directory contains all files related to a

Sure, overrided packages have be to handled differently.
But it is only an idea, not sure it is a good idea :-) .
